Ashes tickets snapped up at rate of ten every second

SUCH was the stampede in Australia for tickets for this winter’s Ashes series when they were made available to the Australian “Cricket Family” yesterday that they went at a rate of ten every second and the allocation for the first four days of the final Test in Sydney sold out within three hours. Thousands of disappointed supporters will get another chance when a limited number of tickets are put on general sale on June 19, otherwise they will have to turn to auction sites like eBay, where tickets were already appearing yesterday, or touts.
